Description

Let the great experiment... Continue! Glenfiddich has added a new expression to its Experimental Series, unveiling Fire & Cane in mid-2018. Malt Master Brian Kinsman has given some of the distillery's peated single malt a three-month finishing period in rum casks - but not just any old rum casks. He's selected rum casks from a variety of South American countries to finish this whisky, which ought to play nicely with the burly peat notes at its core.

Nose: Billowing soft peat notes, like distant smoke on the wind. Rich sweet toffee with zesty fresh fruit notes and spiciness.

Palate: Like a Highland peat campfire, with oak notes and toffee. Sharp green fruit, sweet baked apple and soft smoke.

Finish: Lingering smokiness and sweetness.

Glenfiddich

In 1886, William Grant with his sons and daughters began building his distillery by hand. After a year of work it was ready and William named it Glenfiddich, Gaelic for Valley of the Deer. Glenfiddich is one of the few single malt distilleries to remain entirely family owned.

Scottish Highlands

The Highlands region of Scotland is one of the largest and most diverse whisky-producing areas, known for its broad range of Scotch whiskies with distinctive and varied flavour profiles. Covering a vast expanse of rugged terrain, from mountainous landscapes to rolling hills, the Highlands benefits from a range of climates and natural resources that influence its whisky production.
Highland whiskies are renowned for their complexity and often feature a diverse array of characteristics, including rich and full-bodied profiles, peaty smokiness, and sweet, fruity notes. The area produces everything from heavily peated, robust whiskies to lighter, more delicate expressions with hints of honey, spice, and heather. Notable areas within the Highlands, such as Speyside and the Isle of Skye, contribute their own unique influences to the region's whisky offerings.
Historically, the Highlands have been a significant whisky-producing region since the 18th century, with a strong tradition of craftsmanship and innovation. Today, Highland whiskies continue to be celebrated for their quality and variety, reflecting the rich heritage and natural diversity of this storied region.
